A few years back I installed a HID kit on my BMW for which I paid $1,000 but the light pattern was diffused. It looked much different than the Xenons that came factory installed on other 3 series cars.
There isn't much differnce between the 2k$ and the 100$ ones from ebay.They just marked up the price.
But hid kits price has been only around 60$ now.
